OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
How, and to what extent, do apartheid regimes, ideologies, policies, and practices impact higher education? In this webinar, we will discuss the role of universities in apartheid, settler colonialism and racial supremacy. We will focus on higher education in apartheid South Africa and Israel, unpacking the role of higher education systems, institutions and scholars in othering and subjugating Black and Palestinian people, respectively, and enabling, facilitating, justifying and/or participating in crimes against humanity. Finally, we will address the importance of international academic solidarity with the oppressed and discuss the strategic role of academic boycotts and the global movement to decolonise higher education.
